Under 1000 Preshow:Mercedes Vargas vs Nicholas KingVargas meets King in this matchup, as Vargas and that wealth of potential tries to get back on track against the King. King slipped up last show, but a match over a very talented Vargas would obviously be a good boost.

Choose Your Own Adventure: Todo o Nada (All or Nothing), the Third: One Night with the King Present Day ♦ L O S A N G E L E S • C A L I F O R N I A
[REC•]
Across from the El Rey Theatre, the Ace Gallery on Wilshire Boulevard is one of the hidden gems of Mid-City L.A. It made for a good selfie spot too, not to mention it was free and open to the public.
Mercedes Vargas stands in front of her favorite piece, a wall of neon pink circles. The camera pans back to frame Mercedes, a look of aplomb as she settles in for her first words.
"I've been in this company for years. I didn’t have to, I could have just retired and lived my life with what I have already done. I have enough money to live on, I invested well, I saved, I’m not stupid. So this for me, coming to World Wrestling Headquarters, it was never a money thing. I didn’t need WWH, maybe WWH never needed me. When I was looking for work, trying to get my name out there, I could have worked anywhere in the world. I like to think WWH was one of the toughest places out there, and still is. That's part of the reason why I came here, to face the best of the best..."
Mercedes stifles a laugh.
"And through the years, I got everything I asked for, and more, not that I'm complaining or anything.
"Last Dystopia, four women entered but only one left as the next challenger for the Women's World Championship. Pretty sure no one expected it not to be Renee, but she once again proved why she is that good. And while I can't speak for anyone else in the match, I don't think excuses are going to cut it anymore, at least, not for me."
She pauses, brushing a few strands of hair from her face. Almost despite herself, Mercedes takes on a comical tone.
"I've never ran away from competition before and I'm not about to start now, especially given that this week I get to step in the ring with wrestling royalty. Now what did I do to deserve this kindness?"
Mercedes shrugs. If she had to answer her own question, it would be nothing. As far as she was concerned, WWH did her a favor by placing her on the pre-show. At least it got Mercedes a chance to test her skills against a very formidable opponent. She was excited and afraid.
"Nicolas King. Oh, I can already tell he's going to be a piece of work. You'd be surprised to know that I've seen his type before. The kind of guy who think he's smarter than everyone else, thinks he's a real ladies' man, thinks he's cool, thinks it's all about him. He's calls himself "The Greatest Wrestler of the Modern Era" and "The King of Australia". He even has his own personal ring announcer and a bodyguard. So jealous!"
Mercedes mockingly holds up her hands in reservation. It wasn't that her opponent thought he's God's gift to wrestling in his own mind or that having a personal ring announcer and a body guard makes everyone jealous than the fact that he hoped he wasn't all flash and no substance.
"The one thing I might knock Nicholas down a few points on? I'm almost sure The Queen might have something to say about who really runs things Down Under, mate."
Mercedes holds up an index finger in a wait-a-minute gesture.
"Nicholas's bravado was so much that I took it upon myself to write a very personal letter to Her Majesty."
With a toss of her brunette curls, Mercedes daintily pulls out said letter from her jeans pocket then waves around. After clearing her throat and practicing her vocals, she slips on a pair of reading glasses as she reads in a savoury voice.
"May it Please Your Majesty,
Thank you for taking time to read my letter. I will admit that it had been some time since I last visited Austalia in my travels but I hope that I will get the opportunity again in future. So sorry that Austalia did not win the men's or women's year's World Cup over the past two years, but they did show improvement. Perhaps when the next women's tournament is in Austalia, we'll see if they can break through.
"I have been watching of great concern about one Nicholas King. I believe he hails from one of the very countries you rule over and is very proud to represent his country as any person should, addressing himself as the "King of Australia". Now, I'm not sure why he calls himself this as his stature makes makes him no less regal especially in a violent sport such as professional wrestling, of which he has chosen as a profession.
"I am sure you are very proud that he chose to perfect his craft in America and that he is entertaining.
Well, the ones I know anyway."
Mercedes glances up for a time before she reads the last of the letter.
"One thing I am certain is that Nicholas and I are opponents and this could end up very awkward for me as it is for him. Should he visit his homeland again, I hope that this letter does not find his way to him as I fear he will be very crossed. From the looks of it, I don't think he likes this match anymore than I would.
"Thank you again for considering this important matter from a very concerned citizen.
"I have the honour to remain, Madam, Your Majesty's most humble and obedient servant.
"Yours Truly, Mercedes Vargas."
And with that, Mercedes folds up her letter and push it back in her back pocket.
"You know, I'm thinking this might not go well. Worth a shot.
See you Sunday, Nico!"

The scene opens up right outside of Nicholas King's residence. The scene quickly cuts to the pool area of the house where King could be seen laying down on a comfy chair with an Australian Cattle Dog sleeping quietly beside his chair. The self-proclaimed "King Of Australia had some sunglasses on, but he could still see the cameras looking at him
Nicholas King
You know, it feels pretty nice and quiet around here without Jürgen and Stefano. Maybe it's because I told them when we were in the back after my match that i said and I quote: "I better not see your faces at the hotel, on the plane back to Australia, and at my home. Because if I do, I promise you that you will lose more than a paycheck." Which is why you don't see them here with me. Instead, my loveable Benji will be joining me. Say hello to those losers watching Benji.
The Australian Cattle Dog known as Benji slowly wakes up as he barks at the camera. King reaches down and pets him as he goes back to his nap.
Nicholas King
Adorable isn't he? Had him since I was just a kid and unlike certain others, he's never let me down once. Anyways, let's talk about my opponent on the....pre-show, Mercedes Vargas
King said the word "pre-show" with a bit of venom in his voice. Hating the fact that he was brought back down to pre-shows once again.
Nicholas King
I have to ask: why am I, a young, super talented, spectacular on the mic, and the most handsomest man on the Dystopia brand....facing off against someone who's old enough to be my sister? I will admit she may have more experience than me, and even a lot of nicknames, though two of them aren't even original.
King takes his sunglasses off as he keeps staring at the camera.
Nicholas King
I applaud Vargas for all the things she's done over the years and all the achievements she earned, but none of that will matter when she's up against a young and hungry wrestler like myself. Someone who is faster, more agile, and more skilled than her, someone who hungers for championship gold more than her, and someone who's better on the mic than her. A talented young man like myself shouldn't be wasting his time on the pre-show with some soccer mom, when I should be on the main show where I belong.
Sunday, I'm going to turn things around. The King of Australia will walk out with his hands raised and carve a path straight to the top where he belongs.
King gets up from his chair as he began walking back into the house.
Nicholas King
Come on Benji, let's go watch a movie on Hulu. Benji barks as he follows King back inside the house as the camera slowly fades to black. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The scene opens inside a state of the art wrestling ring with an annoyed Nicholas King standing in the ring with his ring gear on and his eyes closed. Jürgen was standing outside the ring while Stefano was in the ring with a referee shirt on.
Nicholas King
You know, I should fire you two, especially you Jürgen for hitting me in the face at the last Dystopia.
Stefano
We know sir, but we want to make it up to you with a little present that I'm sure you'll love.
King raises an eyebrow while his eyes were still closed shut
Nicholas King
What kind of surprise?
Stefano
Open your eyes and take a look
King grunts as he opens his eyes. He was shocked as standing at the opposite corner was a female wrestler who looks a bit similar to Vargas, but not really.
Nicholas King
What the hell is this?
Stefano
Me and Jürgen went on a little search to find someone who looks just like Vargas for you to practice with for your match against the real Vargas.
King hums to himself as he approaches the female. He walks around her a bit for a few moments before standing a few inches from her, turning around to face Stefano
Stefano
Well?
Nicholas King
……she'll do
Just as he said those words, King hits her with a superkick that sends her down on the mat. He lifts her back up to her feet before hitting a Michinoku Driver II, sending her back down on the mat. He grabs her legs and locks in a La Balanza. She screams in pain and looks like she is about to tap out before King breaks the submission. He lifts her up one last time before hitting The Greatest Brainbuster. He puts his foot down on her stomach as he poses triumphantly while Stefano counts.
Stefano
1!2!3! Here is your winner, the greatest wrestler of the modern era, the king of Australia, Nicholas King!!
King's music could be heard playing from a boombox that Jürgen brought out. King celebrates with a shit eating grin as the scene fades to black
